The Enemy wants us Stuck
I was laying down watching tv—and very casually, thoughts started to roll in my mind. I didn’t like them. So I got up ⬆️, turned off the 📺, and picked up my pen. I got the urge to write on what it is to 'Move Forward In God' because the enemy of our soul would prefer we be ➡️ stuck ⬅️.

Sometimes God lets you date the wrong person - not to punish you, but to prepare you.
He lets you see what love is not, so you'll recognize what it is. He lets you feel the weight of compromise, so you'll value alignment. He lets you taste heartbreak, so you'll learn dependence on Him. The wrong person can still point you to the right lessons. #relatable #christiantiktok
